Meenzer 15718 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 me too the only downside was the 2 couples behind me chatting through the first five minutes of it and the fanboy sitting two rows in front by himself, laughing a little too loudly at in jokes I keep telling Sam to tone that down when I let him out in public.

The Fish 10965 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Its the first time I've had two stereotypes substantiated in one movie-outing. "Black people talk through movies" "Trekkies have no friends, not even other Trekkies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4827 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Its the first time I've had two stereotypes substantiated in one movie-outing. "Black people talk through movies" "Trekkies have no friends, not even other Trekkies" And this is exactly why i havent seen it yet. Wife and three daughters who detest sci fi and frends who either detset sci fi or find the thought of two men going to the pictures together strange!!! I know the middle daughter is holding out for a cash bribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this statement is bollocks, I reckon you either just don't have any friends, or you're so far in the closet you're afraid there's a "CT's Coming out party" behind every door.

"Black people talk through movies" "Trekkies have no friends, not even other Trekkies" Just needed the "fat people eat through movies" for the full house.

Two men in their 40's somehow isnt. No closet for me. I would love to be gay. I would rush out the closet skipping and dancing, mincing to and fro while singing I am what I am...... Its on my bucket list? Can I just be gay without the whole anal bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid_MCDP 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Haven't seen it. Don't really care about it either way. I was sort of interested with the trailers and stuff, but a couple of the reviews I read that actually mentioned the plot as opposed to, "ZOMG! STAR TRACK FOR THE REST OF UZZ!!!!11!" seemed to read like the current season of LOST- time traveling for no real reason other than time-traveling, deux ex machina in the form of once-in-a-lifetime type coincidences, holes big enough you could drive a truck through. I'm sure I'll check it out on DVD or On-Demand at some point, but I'm not going to sit in a theatre with a bunch of nerdsweat. Now, Terminator: Salvation? That I might be willing to sit in nerdsweat for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 saw it last night, definitely see it on a big screen with big sound, that was awesome..... however i had been hearing that reviewers had said it was the best sci-fi since the first Matrix to which i say BULLSHIT. while it was good, in Star Trek TNG fashion , they made the cliffhanger moments incredibly banal with "click of a button" solutions. That being said i did thoroughly enjoy the whole experience and some of the tongue in cheek puns "are you out of your vulcan mind?"... were excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10965 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think that's what opened it up to less hardcore fans like me. Some of the In-jokes went over my head, but the asides like the "Vulcan mind" pun and the bit where spock casually tells a presumptive Kirk to get out of the chair were nice little moments. I don't think a dvd would do it justice, it needs the big screen, big sound experience imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
